Our method, step by step
No mystery to it. Balance the system - intake at the soffit must match exhaust at the ridge - because a ridge vent with blocked soffit intake pulls conditioned air out of the house instead of air through the attic.
We follow manufacturer specification on every component, and we'd rather explain why a step matters than quietly skip it to shave a few hundred dollars off the bid.

Roof Ventilation questions
How soon can you start?
Emergency work gets same-day attention when we can manage it. Scheduled work depends on the season - after a hail event the whole metro calls at once, and we're honest about the queue instead of promising a date we'll miss.
Will insurance pay for this?
If the damage came from a dated storm event, usually yes. Wear and age, no. We'll tell you which one you have after we look, and we'll document it either way.
Are your crews employees or subcontractors?
Our own crews. The person on your roof works for John Beal Roofing, which is why we can put a lifetime workmanship warranty behind the job.
What happens to my yard and landscaping?
We tarp what needs tarping, keep debris out of the beds, and run a magnet over the yard and driveway before we leave. Nails in a tire is the fastest way to lose a customer.
Do I need to be home?
Not for the roof work. We'd like you there at the walkthrough at the end so we can go over what we did and you can look at it with us.
